00:00I think we all agree, although we've disagreed quite a bit today, but we all agree, Dick Van Dyke,
00:06absolute American treasure, he is 99 years old, and he made a joke that I don't know,
00:13like I kind of want to laugh at it. I love the joke. I'm making these jokes myself. I kind of want to laugh at it, but...
00:18No, I'm making these myself these days. So he was, where was he? Somewhere here.
00:23Malibu. He's in Malibu. That's where he lives. And this weekend he was talking to some folks and said,
00:28I'm not officially 100 until December. Two months. Two months. It'd be funny if I didn't make it.
00:36Now that's a comedian for you. I love Dick Van Dyke. And by the way...

00:43I get it as a joke, but listen, we have the experience of Betty White and also Bob Barker,
00:52where we were hoping that they would get to 100, and they didn't make it.
